💨Nebulization involves using a saline mist to thin out pulmonary secretions.
👏Coupage is a percussion technique performed on the chest to loosen mucus.
🫁Aspiration pneumonia can be effectively treated with nebulization and coupage techniques.
🩺Nebulization is often used to assist patients on oxygen therapy.
💪Coupage helps the patient cough out the loosened secretions and improve respiratory function.
What is nebulization?
—Nebulization is the process of delivering medication or saline mist to the lungs to treat respiratory conditions or to moisten the airways.
How does nebulization benefit patients with aspiration pneumonia?
—Nebulization helps thin out the pulmonary secretions, making it easier for the patient to cough out the mucus and improve their breathing.
Can nebulization be performed on patients who are oxygen dependent?
—Yes, nebulization can be administered to oxygen-dependent patients to provide medication or hydration to the lungs while maintaining oxygen therapy.
What is coupage?
—Coupage is a technique that involves firm percussion on the patient's chest to help loosen and mobilize mucus in the lungs, aiding in its removal.
Is coupage painful for the patient?
—Coupage should not be painful when performed correctly. The percussions are firm but gentle enough to stimulate mucus movement without causing discomfort.
